Re: Parents Angry Over Mercury Contamination

[Guest guest]

An autism parent should point them to DAN! Wouldn't it be a hoot (in a

sick way) if the " expert " woulda said, " Sure, we know where to turn,

ask the autism community... "

Actually Deb, a parent on CK2 is trying to contact one of the parents

Hi guys

I am the CK2 parent making the contact. I am making my calls this

afternoon to the lawyer's (I worked with his mother so that's my

initial in) and I have a small list of names of parents that I will

try to contact. I wanted to attend last evenings parent meeting

with the state but I was hours away at my DAN's office.

Please advise on any infomation you think will be helpful for these

parents. I don't want to overload them or sound like a snake oil

salesman but I do want them to research their options.

Thanks

I think you should tell them about the standard chelators they can use. Give them an overview of the complexity and controversial nature of mercury detoxification, but also some stories of kids who have recovered.

I would suggest you/they invite Boyd Haley to come and speak to them.

He's reputable being the UK chemistry leader, mercury is one of his

specialties, and he speaks in a way that can be easily understood.
